Emirates is to strengthen its commitment to South Africa with the launch of a second daily flight to Cape Town from Dubai. “We have seen very strong inbound and outbound demand for our South African services over the last year. This new frequency will bring one of South Africa’s leading tourist destinations within easier reach for visitors, as well as meet the needs of our South African customers for enhanced connections from Cape Town to Europe, the Far East and a host of other points across our network,” said Richard Vaughan, Emirates divisional SVP of Commercial Operations Worldwide. Starting on 27 March, passengers flying out of Singapore can choose to fly on any of Emirates’ 21 weekly services to Dubai and connect onto any of the Dubai-based international airline’s twice daily flights to Cape Town. The new service will be operated by an Airbus 340-500 aircraft in a three-class configuration – First Class private suites, Business and Economy Class seats. Flight EK772 will depart Dubai (DXB) at 03:50, arriving in Cape Town (CPT) at 11:40 the same day. EK773 leaves Cape Town at 13:40 and arrives in Dubai at 01:15 the following day, connecting seamlessly to key centres in Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Sub-continent, Asia and the Far East.
